Full-Stack JavaScript Development: Develop, Test and Deploy with MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node on AWSby Eric Bush- In Stock.
List Price: $35.99 Price: $35.97 "Good coverage of development in a multi-tiered architecture" - By CodeView (Tampa, FL USA)
I bought the book to learn about MongoDB and Angular, but the book covered all of the components of a traditional 3 tier architecture and how all of these pieces fit together. Eric has done a fantastic job explaining how MongoDB, Angular, Express and Node.js come together to create a "full-stack" application.
I also like the larger print; I'm a little older and the small print of some technical books gives me a headache. That and the abundant graphics sprinkled throughout the text made it a lot easier for me to understand. I also appreciated the abundant code snippets accompanying the text to explain how each idea works.
My one complaint about the text is that the index is not as good as it could have been; but for a step-by-step tutorial book, that's not hard to understand. I highly recommend this book.(3) -

I am the architect and implementer of nderground (nderground dot net) a social network built with the Grails framework. The implementation languages of Grails are Groovy and Java. In building nderground I used Postgres (the managed Amazon service RDS/Postgres). I have used Bootstrap to build the nderground web pages.
When I saw the book Rails, Angular, Postgres and Bootstrap I thought that it would be a chance to learn about how the Ruby on Rails framework can apply some of the components I had used with the Grails framework. I was especially interested in learning about how AngularJS could be used. One of the challenges in building modern web applications is the complexity of the client side code and I was hoping that learn whether AngularJS could be used to manage this complexity.
The first thing that the potential reader should know about David Copeland's book is that ... full review(22) -

DISCLAIMER - I was given a copy to review.
This book is like a book form of a programming bootcamp - takes you through the basics of getting you set up for full stack Javascript. Hold on to your pants for the ride. Lots of links to videos going through the content.
Its also handy as JavaScript dev cheatsheet - a quick refresher of how it all hangs together.
Chapter - 1/Basics
Run through of the key terms - front end, Agile, back end
Also a quick dive into the background of the web and how web apps work, a few diagrams would be good
Chapter - 2/setup. Equally quick run through of setting up your Mac/Linux env for development. More useful as a reference than a detailed how to

"Fantastic read!" - By Jeff Pearce
I really enjoyed this, was hoping for a rest api example instead of fire base, but I'm super happy with the purchase and would have paid more!(18) -
